Most of theory behind this CD is made possible by Stanislaw Skowronek and his |
| 5 |
rather revolutionary new bootloader, ARCLoad. Coming soon to a portage tree |

near you! |

See the README file at the top level of the livecd directory for a far more |
| 9 |
thorough description of how it works, how it boots, and how it's more or less |
| 10 |
put together. the cdboort-ip* files are example sof how the CD boots on my |
| 11 |
available systems. Your's should more or less closely follow what's shown there. |

Tools, mainly just the miniroot (embedded into the kernel) and the CD "real |
| 20 |
root" can be found in the tools/ subfolder. Other bits and pieces used to make |
| 21 |
this CD Image will probably appear there over time as well. |
